“This was proving a real headache with an ageing system in a dated building, the original parts of which were opened by Queen Victoria,” explained Stuart Keane.
“Obviously in a hospital environment where temperatures are critical and demands vary across departments particularly operating theatres, maintenance is a major concern and we have to be absolutely sure we’re adopting the best approach.
“With such an ageing system we’ve encountered extreme scaling up throughout the whole system which has meant it has been very difficult firstly to maintain correct temperature levels and then carry out maintenance to correct the situation,” he added.
“The MagnaClean Industrial units have already been removing high levels of magnetite sludge deposits from the system and this has totally negated the need for far more intrusive and costly maintenance which could have been so much more disruptive to the hospital.”
“Based on what we’ve seen already, I’m far more confident about achieving the temperature levels required in the future. The theatres are the biggest concern, but we’ve been fulfilling the requirements and the transformation in the system has been remarkable,” he concludes.
ADEY’s National Sales Director Roger Williams believes MagnaClean Industrial could provide a similarly effective solution for hospitals up and down the country.
“The hospital considered a couple of other options to rectify the problem and one would have meant removal of the pipework which was causing loss of heat, but as a lot of this is inaccessible, the implications would have been massive in terms of cost and upheaval.
“Once installed, the Industrial filters prove far more effective and there is minimal disruption. The installation process is quicker, safer and far more cost-effective and once in place the Industrial units just carry on working quietly in the background,” he concludes.
MagnaClean Industrial operates in two key ways. Firstly, it purges even the most demanding and dirtiest commercial system of the potentially damaging iron oxide. Secondly, the ongoing operation of the heating system is improved significantly as the water circulates through what is effectively a ‘protected’ iron oxide-free zone.
